A little bit about me. As you heard on Tuesday, I am a fourth year graduate student in the Psych & Brain Sciences department. (click) My research focuses on exercise and how it influences cognition. I specifically look at how the neural mechanisms of working memory and attention are modulated as a result of an acute bout of aerobic exercise.
A fun fact about me is that I love hiking! This is a photo from a while back when I hiked Cucomonga peak down in the San Bernadino mountains. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to hike as much during grad school but I am trying to change that with the hopefully few years I have left.
I also am very passionate about statistics, especially the Bayesian approach, machine learning, and AI. One of my hobbies is trying to use reinforcement learning methods to train video game AI to perform optimally. I say hobby because I’m not that good at it.
